Be careful, Barron's next trick will be getting battlefield re-defined as "anywhere with one of our drones flying over it".

I signed a petition & sent letters to my congresscritters stating my opposition to this guy's nomination.

Now, if we could just get the CIA to release the un-redacted Cheney / Bush torture memos...

Well, the risk involved for "our guy" is much higher in the case of the F-18 pilot than it is for the operator sitting in some air-conditioned Arizona bunker snacking on potato chips, killing people on a screen with the touch of a few buttons. Drones make war clean and easy, and I fear, more acceptable.

Hmm typical government paperwork vetted by lawyers to ensure the government have their P's and Q's.

Good luck trying to fight that stuff! Most of those documents are highly classified.
